• Factors influencing the implementation and adherence to volume-based enteral feeding protocols in the critical care setting: A scoping review

  Australian Critical Care · 2025-03-27

  reviewOpen access1st authorCorresponding

  OBJECTIVE: Delivery of enteral nutrition is an essential component of care for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU); however, patients only receive approximately 60% of prescribed enteral nutrition. Volume-based feeding (VBF) has been demonstrated as a safe and effective strategy to catch up for missed delivery of enteral nutrition. The aim of this review was to investigate factors influencing the adherence and implementation of VBF in the adult critical care and high-dependency unit settings to inform future implementation of VBF protocols in the ICU. METHODS: Systematic searches of databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Emcare) and grey literature repositories (TROVE, TRIP, CPG Infobase, WorldCat, and Google) were conducted to identify original research studies including adults admitted to the ICU, where VBF or catch-up feeding protocols were in place. Studies reporting on barriers, enablers, and acceptability or adherence to VBF protocols were included. RESULTS: A total of 28 studies involving 7057 participants were eligible for inclusion, of which 19 were conducted in the USA, seven in Canada, one in the UK, and one in Australia. Factors enabling the implementation of VBF included management support, multidisciplinary team engagement, a project team, multimodal education, and communication strategies. Embedding the protocol into current work systems increased success. Barriers included a culture of deprioritising nutrition, safety concerns, staff turnover, and failure to embed the changes into work systems including the electronic medical record. VBF was considered acceptable to ICU staff; however, adherence to VBF protocols was variable (between 32.1% and 90%). CONCLUSION: Successful implementation of a VBF protocol is enabled by strong project leadership, staff education, team engagement, and embedding VBF into current work processes. VBF is acceptable to staff; however, continuous education is recommended to sustain change in practice. Implementation of VBF should be considered as part of an "enhanced" feeding strategy in the ICU setting. REGISTRATION: The protocol was developed and registered a priori on Open Science Framework on 8th August 2023 (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/8DJKY).

• Approximation, Optimization, and Computing

  book-chapterSenior author

  The fields of approximation, optimization, and computing encompass a wealth of mathematical material; they have enjoyed illustrious histories over the centuries and are now undergoing exciting developments as the twenty-first century approaches. The evolution of the modern computer has brought into focus many of their overlap regions. Techniques, applications, and expanding areas of research derive mutual benefits from the interactions, and they provide fundamental tools for tackling increasingly complex problems in the sciences, engineering, and medicine. This article addresses some of the interplay among the three fields, the familiar continuous, real-valued functions are used with the powerful inner product structure, to provide a setting in which approximation and optimization can be discussed together briefly, in conjunction with basic concepts of the computing for machine implementation. The initial focus in this introductory article is on continuous techniques, but a discrete-methods development parallels that using the continuous tools; there is a great deal of interplay between continuous and discrete methods in general.

  Mission Statement JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery provides timely information for physicians and scientists concerned with diseases of the head and neck.Given the diversity of structure and function based in this anatomic region, JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery publishes clinical, translational, and population health research from an array of disciplines.We place a high priority on strong study designs that accurately identify etiologies, evaluate diagnostic strategies, and distinguish among treatment options and outcomes.Our objectives are to (1) publish original contributions that will enhance the clinician's understanding of otolaryngologic disorders, benefi t the care of our patients, and stimulate research in our fi eld; (2) forecast important advances within otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, particularly as they relate to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease through clinical and translational research, including that of the human genome and novel imaging techniques; (3) address questions of clinical outcomes and cost-eff ectiveness that result from clinical intervention, which grow in importance as health care providers are increasingly challenged to provide evidence of enhanced survival and quality of life; (4) provide expert reviews of topics that keep our readers current with true advances and also to provide a valuable educational resource for trainees in the several disciplines that treat patients with diseases of the head and neck; (5) serve as a forum for the concerns of otolaryngologists, such as socioeconomic, legal, ethical, and medical issues; (6) provide helpful critiques that enable contributing authors to improve their submissions.We encourage a concise presentation of information and employ an abstract format that effi ciently assesses validity and relevance from a clinical perspective.This approach promotes succinct yet complete presentation for our readers and electronic information resources.We believe this approach typifi es the commitment of JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery to providing important information that is easily interpreted by its diverse readership.
